AVImark API Guide: How to Access AVImark Data from Third-Party Software
AVImark is one of the most widely deployed veterinary practice management systems in North America. Integrating with AVImark is not straightforward — it stores data in a proprietary local database with no native REST API. This guide covers direct database access, HL7 interfaces, and integration middleware as approaches, and explains the tradeoffs of each.
Does AVImark Have a REST API?
No. AVImark does not expose a native REST API for third-party access. Data is stored in a proprietary local database and must be accessed via ODBC, direct SQL, or a locally deployed integration agent.
How Developers Access AVImark Data
Common approaches include direct database access via SQL, HL7 message interfaces for lab and imaging, and integration middleware like DataHub Vet that handles database access and normalization transparently.
Using DataHub Vet for AVImark Integration
DataHub Vet handles AVImark integration through a locally deployed agent that manages database access, change detection, and data normalization — delivering updates via webhook in under 60 seconds.
